Angela Crabtree Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Limelight

Dark and murky they hide their face
political appetite for many
I don't have any
even if there was a parking space

A star some born in which to be
some hunger for destruction
fear of abduction
from the paparazzi

I was almost there
I was a singer and songwriter
quite an igniter
but I didn't care

You must stay on top
or you'll be in infomercials
and winding up on commercials
this needs to stop

It has a plus side though
everything does
you can pay off the fuzz
and enter in free to your show

Being in the arena without trying
I wish I could've been so lucky
a bar stool junkie
they tell the truth when their lying

Caren Krutsinger October 19, 2020 at 1:28 PM I have a feeling that you are still singing and writing songs. I would be disappointed if you are not. Angela Crabtree October 19, 2020 at 4:07 PM I'm working on a couple of songs. Hopefully, I 'll have them completed soon. Thank you for your nice comment :)

Victor Buhagiar October 17, 2020 at 1:02 PM I believe you told me about your music. An exciting poem. ~~ Angela Crabtree October 17, 2020 at 6:26 PM Thank you, Victor. Songwriting was both exciting and stressful at the same time :)
